The maths of austerity are simply pushing wealth to the top of the tree, economic consultant Michael Burke finds. 

Lindsey German, Convenor of the Stop the War Coalition, explains why she is marching on 21 June to demand the alternative to policies of war and austerity.

Bronwen Handyside, of Keep our NHS Public and Unite, explains how private companies have their greedy fingers in our public health service - and how only by working together can we drive them off.

Why should people march on 21 June in protest against austerity?  There is a government budget deficit - don't we have to do something about that? Isn't opposition to austerity policies just putting your head into the sand and ignoring the problem we all face?
